Wildflower Climbing Gym

Super nice gym, perfect for training. Lovely people and a great community!

Excellent training facilities!

I have been bouldering for six years now, five of which 'seriously' (visiting the gym every other day, doing complementary strength, flexibility, and finger exercises, and sticking to a diet). Despite this approach, my 'project grade' has, for the last three years, plateaued at 7a/7a+. Wildflower Climbing is a place for people like me — no, not 'people who boulder 7a', but people who are serious about wanting to improve, no matter the grade.Recently, one of my best friends took up bouldering. He lacks strength (cannot do a pull-up), and is not the most coordinated. Nevertheless, he has already send several 6b+ boulders. His 'secret' to success is of course that he is always bouldering with people better than him, who can point out the 'obvious errors' in his climbing.Wildflower Climbing is different from the Netherlands' many commercial bouldering gyms in that it is a dedicated training centre. First and foremost, this materialises in the form of daily climbing technique lessons you can sign up for (unrestricted) if you have a gym subscription. The lessons are taught by Tiba Vroom (Bouldering World Cup competitor, climbed an 8b boulder outside). Like I help expedite my friend's progress, Tiba is capable of dissecting my climbing, and work with me on effectively tackling my weaknesses, as well as improve my strengths. Since joining Wildflower Climbing a month ago, my dynamic climbing, which has always been a shortcoming of mine, has greatly improved. I know better how to divide complex, coordinated movements into manageable parts that I then string together once each element has been mastered individually. I also approach run-and-jump movements with more confidence, netting big results already.Through Wildflower's climbing technique training I also hope to improve my footwork on slabs, my movement on volume holds, and my tendencies to climb too slow, and cut loose unnecessarily.Besides climbing technique training, Wildflower furthermore offers mobility training, and jumping and explosiveness training, both taught by renowned specialists. More than that: the gym features an extensive, high-quality fitness, strength, and calisthenics section, which includes pull-up bars, a gymnastics parallel bar, racks for squatting, deadlifting and bench-pressing (equipped with plenty of nice plates), a wide range of dumbbells, an enormous campus board, and virtually all the gym equipment a climber could ask for. And yes, Wildflower Climbing also offer strength training.A standard monthly subscription at Wildflower Climbing costs 30 euros. For that you get access to the whole gym: the aforementioned strength training section, a massive overhung spray wall, a unique slab spray wall (I love this one), and of course world-class comp style boulders.But the best deal you can get is most certainly the Full Training subscription. For a mere additional 50 euros you can join all the training lessons you wish. Classes that are taught by elites of their respective field, in small groups, with lots of personal attention. You don't get that anywhere else; that is the price you usually pay for 45 minutes of personal training from a non-professional.The atmosphere inside is welcoming, the people are friendly, and everybody is serious about wanting to improve.Highly recommended!

Good sets with uncluttered walls and lots of them. Decently stocked training area, though they may want to look at getting more plates, because my friend squatted every plate they had and was looking for more!

Really nice gym for climbing and training. All the people who participate in this project are very friendly and ready to help, no matter your experience level (I'm still a beginner). The monthly subscription fee is really more than fair, given that you can climb on your own, join a class every weekday, use the training equipment alone or in a group.All in all, a super fun experience :)

I'm grateful there is in NL an authentic climbing spot 100% dedicated to the practice! The trainers here are great.
